The Clearingstelle Urheberrecht Im Internet (CUII) has been introduced as a private entity to handle copyright issues online. This has raised concerns about government overreach and censorship, as critics argue that it acts as a means to circumvent traditional legal avenues. The CUII's blocking measures are reportedly only effective at the DNS level, meaning users can easily bypass these restrictions by switching to alternate DNS servers instead of those provided by their Internet Service Provider (ISP).
